"There's nobody like Andy and there never will be. He'll hate hearing this, but he's an American original," Jeff Fager, chairman of CBS News and the executive producer of 60 Minutes, said. "His contributions to 60 Minutes are immeasurable; he's also a great friend. It's harder for him to do it every week, but he will always have the ability to speak his mind on 60 Minutes when the urge hits him."
